The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory will present innovative science and technology during the Annual American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting Dec. 11-15 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.
The AGU fall meeting is the largest worldwide conference in the geophysical sciences, attracting more than 24,000 Earth and space scientists, educators, students and other leaders for discussions of emerging trends and the latest research.
A unique scientific laboratory headquartered in Washington, D.C., NRL is one of the only organizations which employs researchers with geophysical expertise, ranging from the ocean floor to the far away reaches of the galaxy.
More than 100 NRL scientists and engineers will join other experts and enthusiasts to present and discuss advanced and updated technologies and information in ocean, atmosphere, space and other geo-sciences.
They will also talk about research opportunities, along with science and technology partnerships between the Navy, Marine Corps, industry and academia.
